HWW:PLA warships spotted near India's Andaman islands

The Indian Navy has decided to deploy more vessels near the Andaman
islands in the Bay of Bengal after spotting Chinese warships conducting
reconnaissance activities in the region, according to the Duowei News, a
US-based outlet operated by overseas Chinese.

The only tri-service theater command of the Indian armed forces,
based in Port Blair of the Andaman and Nicobar islands and known as the
Andaman and Nicobar Command, would very likely to become the primary
target of the People's Liberation Army if China and India went to war.
The attention of the Indian military is currently on the defense of its
mountainous northern border with China, leaving the Andaman islands
vulnerable to a potential Chinese attack.

Even if the Indian ground forces could withstand a Chinese attack on
its northern border for seven to eight days, it can only defend the
Andaman and Nicobar Command with landing or patrol ships, a source said.
A source from the Andaman and Nicobar Command said that Chinese
warships have been spotted in the region twice already. Without the
proper missiles to defend against incoming enemy aircraft and warship,
the source said that it would be very hard for Indian forces to defend
the island.

New Delhi plans to deploy more warships and perhaps even aircraft to
the region, said the report. Vice Admiral Pradeep Kumar Chatterjee, the
commander-in-chief of the Andaman and Nicobar Command, said the Indian
military's defense of the Andaman islands will become unbreakable over
the next five years. New ports are being constructed and the Indian Air
Force is likely to be deployed to the region as well to protect India's
backyard.http://www.wantchinatimes.com/news-subclass-cnt.aspx?id=20150907000062&cid=1101
